Any noticeable gains? Did you install it or the dealer?

Had it rolling roaded before and after install.I also had the chip flashed by APR.

The intake gives an extra 7BHP when used in conjunction with the chip.

It was installed by the tuner, easy enough job to do yourself though.

Please let us know how all that extra hp and torque work out when the rainy season comes.

Rainy season!

We are talking about the UK - we don't have any other season other than a rainy one.:rolleyes:

The rain makes no difference, its how you drive the car and how you apply the power that is the factor.

In the dry its awesome, in the wet you just drive with common sense.

Im borrowing some timing gear on Wednesday to try some 0-60 runs, I will update further then.

The EOS has a lot of torque already. I remember leaving the lot after I bought the car and leaving a bit of rubber in the dealers driveway. OOPS! :)

Yeah, my wife did that on the test-drive!

That is a sweet-looking intake. No engine cover modification needed? How does it sound? I'd love to get more growl out of the engine. My Pontiac GTP (Supercharged from factory) with an aftermarket intake screams like a banshee where with stock you can't even hear the supercharger whine.
